Richmond City Hall

Richmond’s first town hall was a one-room building on Sam Brighouse’s property near the corner of Cambie and River Roads, which he donated to the municipality for this use. Later, Brighouse swapped the original town hall property for another site in his vast land holdings, at No. 3 Road and Granville Avenue.

The second town hall was a two-story building with a curved drive and landscaped grounds facing No. 3 Road. In 1957, Richmond’s rapid urbanization resulted the building of a third larger hall on the same site. The building you see today is the fourth city hall and was constructed in 2000.
